Career
In 1989, he conducted the Waianae Diet Program which demonstrated the effect of placing Native Hawaiians on a traditional Hawaiian diet. The results were dramatic, as participants in the program lost an average of seventeen pounds while eating as much food as they wanted. In addition, the participants' blood sugar, blood cholesterol and blood pressure improved significantly. The program was also unique in that it incorporated Native Hawaiian healing practices in a whole-person, whole-community approach.
This program won a national award from the U.S. Secretary of Health in 1992 for its success in making a major impact on a high-risk population which previously had been typically difficult to reach. What was remarkable about this program was that it was conducted without external funding and put together with a combination of Dr. Shintani's expertise and support from the local community. This work is featured in Encyclopædia Britannica.
In 1997, he attempted to improve the health of the citizens of the State of Hawaii by involving Hawaii's governor Cayetano, his cabinet members and a number of prominent community members in promoting his diet to the general public. His book the "Hawaii Diet" (2000) is based on this work. In 2000, he created the Zippy's "Shintani Cuisine" Program which has served over 900,000 low-fat, no-cholesterol meals to members of the public, and of which all royalties are used to promote health in Hawaii.
In 2006, for his lifelong service to the Hawaiian community, he was formally designated a Living Treasure of Hawaii. In 2006, the Honolulu Advertiser described Dr. Shintani's work as an important part of the island's one hundred and fifty-year history.
As of 2015, he is president and founding president of the Hawaii Health Foundation, and is the co-founder of the clinic of the Department of Complementary and Integrative Medicine, of which he holds the position of Professor and Associate Chair, at the University of Hawaii School of Medicine. He also holds the following positions; CEO of the International Holistic Therapy Association, Prior of the Priory of Hawaii of the Knights of the Orthodox Order of St. John Russian Grand Priory, Chair of the Advisory Board of the Gandhi International Institute of Peace, President of the Board of the Hawaii Center for Attitudinal Healing, member of the Council of Elders of Native Hawaiian Healers, and is a member of the Advisory Board of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
